Configuring vsftpd with nginx on ubuntu
- by arby
I have vsftpd installed on Ubuntu 12.04LTS along with nginx, php, and sql on an Amazon ec2 instance. The web server is good to go, but I'm having trouble connecting to the FTP server. I'm not quite sure how to set the privileges or what configuration options I might be missing.
By default, the location of the web root is at /usr/share/nginx/www and it is owned by root:root. The web server runs as user www-data in the group www-data.
I've opened port 21 and set the passive ports in the ec2 backend and ufw firewall.
In vsftpd.conf, I have:
...
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
local_umask=0027
chroot_local_user=YES
pasv_enable=YES
pas_max_port=12100
pasv_min_port=12000
port_enable=YES
...
Now, I'm unsure how to create the FTP user that when I login, displays my web directory with write access. I've tried it a few different ways, but I keep running into errors (either no connection, no write access, or very slow timeouts.)
